IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To prevent grease fires, do not let cooking grease or other flammable materials accumulate in or near the appliance,
Use only dry potholders. Moist or damp potholders on hot surfaces may result in a steam burn. Do not let potholder touch hot heating elements. Do not use a towel or other bulky cloth which could easily touch hot heating elements and ig- nite.
Always turn off all controls when cooking is completed.
NEVER heat unopened containers on the cooktop. Pressure
NEVER use aluminum foil or foil containers on the cooktop. These may become very hot.
Clean only parts listed in this guide and use procedures recommended.
This appliance has been tested for safe performance using conventional cookware. Do not use any devices or accesso-
riesthat arenotspecificallyrecommendedinthismanual. Do not use eyelid covers for the surface units or stovetop grills. The use of devices or accessories not expressly recom- mended in this guide can create serious safety hazards, result in performance problems, and reduce the life of the compo-
nents of the appliance,
Cooktop
NEVER leave surface units unattended especially when us- ing high heat settings. An unattended boilover could cause smoking and a greasy spillover can cause a fire.
This appliance is equipped with different size surface ele- merits. Select pans having flat bottoms large enough to cover element. Proper relationship of pan to element will improve cooking efficiency,
If pan is smaller than element, a portion of the element will be exposed to direct contact and could ignite clothing or
potholder,
Only certain types of glass, glass/ceramic, ceramic, earthen- ware, or other glazed utensils are suitable for cooktop with- out breaking due to the sudden change in temperature. Fol-
low utensil manufacturer's instructions when using glass,
Turn pan handle toward center of cooktop, not out into the room or over another surface element. This reduces the risk of bums, ignition of flammable materials, or spillage if pan is accidently bumped or reached by small children.
NEVER cook on broken cooktop. If cooktop should break, cleaning solutions and spillovers may penetrate the broken cooktop and create a risk of electric shock. Contact a quali- fied technician immediately.
Clean cooktop with caution. Some cleaners can produce nox- ious fumes if applied to a hot surface. If a wet sponge, cloth, or paper towel is used to wipe spills on a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn.
Deep Fat Fryers
Use extreme caution when moving the grease pan or dispos- ing of hot grease. Allow grease to cool before attempting to
move pan.
Heating Elements
NEVER touch surface elements or areas near elements.
Heating elements may be hot even though they are dark in color. Areas near surface elements may become hot enough
to cause bums. During and after use, do not touch or let cloth- ing or other flammable materials contact these areas until
they have had sufficient time to cool.
Child Safety
NEVER leave children alone or unsupervised in area where
appliance is in use or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on any part of the ap- pliance as they could be injured or burned.
CAUTION: NEVER store items of interest to children in
cabinets above an appliance. Children climbing on appliance to reach items could damage the appliance or be burned or
seriously injured.
Children must be taught that the appliance and utensils in oi
on it can be hot. Let hot utensils cool in a safe place, out ol reach of small children. Children should be taught that an
appliance is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with controls or other parts of the unit.
